Category III codes are established by the AMA as a set of temporary CPT codes for emerging technologies, services, and procedures. They are used for data collection and tracking purposes and are typically reviewed every five years to determine if they should be moved to Category I codes or deleted. Category I codes are permanent codes used for billing and reimbursement purposes. Category II codes are supplemental tracking codes used for quality measurement purposes. Category IV codes are used for laboratory tests.
